More Than Desolation Poem by Adrian Murphy

Moments that lasted forever became a lifetime lost in an instant
A bonfire of dreams and memories blazes fiercely around me.
Must one win and the other lose?
Is all this pain going to change a single thing?

There is nothing left inside of me
Every remnant of my life exposed
This thing we have become,
Inexplicable to all.

You must go your way and I must go mine
Never again our worlds to collide.
Out there, there is a future,
Somewhere I can just be me.
